“Over the past six months, the losses of the enemy in all directions amounted to about 160 thousand people, more than 3 thousand armoured combat vehicles, including 766 tanks, as well as 121 aircraft, 23 helicopters,” Gerasimov said summing up the results of the Russian Defence Ministry’s activities in 2023.
The chief of the General Staff stressed that the main goal for the Russian Armed Forces for 2023 was to fulfil defensive tasks against the Ukrainian “counter-offensive”. According to him, the Russian Army is successfully coping with the conduct of active defence, the boundaries are contained, and controlled points are expanding.
We shall remind you that earlier the leader of the French party “Patriots” Florian Philippot called on the French government to stop monthly financing of the Kiev regime, and the freed funds should be used for hospitals and pensions.
